Wikipedia has a pretty good article about him too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Brink
A bit sad, to have a profile that is so empty, for such a famous writer.
The 'born in the 1930s bit is correct.. And I see that your link gives his parents, which seem correct. However, not so nice, or maybe just very dumb, they also give his actual postal address!
Shall we just assume it is him, and fill it out? If the parents are not the correct ones for the famous Andre Brink, we can still just change those?
I've just made a 'category' for 'Houdenbek Slave Revolt 1825', and I do think that the author belongs in it: Houdenbek Slave Revolt 1825 category
.. and now I see that this profile is locked, so nobody can improve it. Why??
